By Mildred Mariel Jazz Orchestra Ft. Dani Toralla. Composed by Alberto Dominguez. Arranged by Mildred Mariel Perez. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, Big Band, Jazz, Latin, Traditional. 43 pages. Mildred Mariel #1280465. Published by Mildred Mariel (A0.1717030).This heartfelt big band arrangement of Perfidia, the beloved bolero by Mexican composer Alberto Domínguez, is a tribute to both Latin musical tradition and personal memory. Inspired by Nikki Parrott’s evocative version on Papa Loves Mambo, this chart reimagines Perfidia for standard big band with vocal soloist, emphasizing the bass and voice in a uniquely intimate way.
With no chordal instrument, this arrangement allows the bass to carry both melody and rhythm, creating a warm, transparent texture that spotlights the vocalist. The mood is nostalgic yet optimistic, perfect for ensembles looking to showcase Latin repertoire with emotional depth and cultural richness.
Influenced by artists like Omara Portuondo and Nat King Cole, this arrangement celebrates the timeless elegance of the bolero.
